Ideology in Islamic System about Women Rights

There is supremacy of Wahy and an ideology in Islamic system. Finality of Prophet, Prayer, Zakat, Hajj, Saum carry great importance in Islam. The religion of Islam envisages political, judicial and economic system as well. Islam favors the concept of Qiyas, Jihad, Ijtihad, morality and accountability. In the words of A.K Brohi:

“The emergence of Islam from the landscape of Arabia, in the larger vista of history, is to be linked to be radiant light emanating from a brilliantly lit lamp placed in the middle of world that had sunk into thick and impenetrable darkness. The Prophet of Islam, no wonder is described in the Quran as a shining lamp in that image; he is befittingly addressed as Mercy on all the people.”

Right of Women under Islam Sharia Law

“Prophet! Tell your wives and daughters and all Muslim women to draw cloaks and veils all over their bodies (screening themselves completely except for one or two eyes to see the way). That will be better.” Qur’an 33:59

It has been ordained in the Holy Quran:

“Today have I perfected your religion for you, and have bestowed upon the full measure of my blessings, and willed that self-surrender unto me shall be your religion.”

So Islam gives permission to women regarding any stage of life, there are many wrong concept out there about women rights in Islam. But the real scenario of sharia law is entirely different.
